Head of 成人论坛 Swahili, Solomon Mugera, said: "Prosper With The 成人论坛 encourages young talented people to realise their entrepreneurial potential and win a chance to have a good start in life. It is about helping young people to do well for themselves and their communities. This idea is present throughout our programming.

"We listen to young audiences across Swahili-speaking Africa as they have their say on vital issues affecting their lives in programmes such as Kimasomaso. We also help them, as they look for a better future for themselves and their communities, through programmes such as Uchumi on Dira ya Dunia, which gives our listeners tips on how to succeed in business."

Prosper with the 成人论坛 is open to Swahili-speakers aged 16 to 24-years-old.
